Banana Bread

What do you do with overripe bananas? Throw them? or make a sweet dish out of them?..make banana bread? Well, here is a healthy version of the Banana Bread..It uses whole wheat flour, brown sugar and olive oil. So no butter..no refined flour and refined sugar..a good reason for you to not go on a guilt trip of sinful indulgence on something sweet!

• 1 pinch salt
• 2 teaspoons vanilla essence
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Method:
Combine the orange juice, yoghurt and olive oil and stir them together nicely till it looks like a beaten egg. You can use a blender for the same. Keep this liquid aside.

Mash the banana and add it to the dry ingredients.
Slowly pour the liguid and the vanilla essence and fold it nicely with the dry ingredients till it forms a smooth paste.
